Ellen DeGeneres in Tears Over Oscars Feat - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-27-2007, 05:40 PM

Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres burst into tears on her live post-Academy Awards TV talk show yesterday, after a string of celebrities poured praise on her via video.

The humbled comedienne fought to regain composure as her studio audience gave her a standing ovation following footage of DeGeneres' day at the Oscars, where she realized a lifelong dream to host the big show.

The proud comic was seen sobbing in her dressing room hours before the Oscars got underway and then she sobbed as she thanked family and friends backstage after her first hosting stint was over.

But it was taped post-show comments from Kate Winslet, Marc Anthony, Queen Latifah, Helen Mirren and Will Smith that had DeGeneres sobbing on her show.

She said, "I'm crying for many reasons--I'm tired, so I'm emotional... It represented so many things to me. It represented that people believed in me, they took a chance in me to hold something like that together.

"It was harder than I thought and I was scared to death... It was incredible."

DeGeneres explained that watching the footage of her preparations for the big show brought all her emotions back.

Did anyone know that Ellen's brother Vance used to be in a band called "The Cold" here in New Orleans? Vance is also a co-creator of Mr. Bill.

I saw Vance just a few weeks ago playing bass with Cowboy Mouth at a church fair on the West Bank. It was just before they played Jazz Fest.
